{Coocookachoo, my duckies. We're getting close to the end!}
Morgan POV-
I groaned as I helped Sebastian to clean off the rest of the blood that was begining to stain the stone steps of the backyard patio.
"I don't know what the fuck is wrong with that guy..." I growled lowly. "Why the fuck would he kiss me?"
Sebastian stopped cleaning for a moment and looked up at me. "Did you seriously not realize his affection for you? The rest of the Akatsuki made it quite obvious."
I shook my head and he sighed. "Honestly, Morgan, you can be quite clueless at times."
I scrunched my face up at him. "What? I used to hang out with my bros all the time like that! They even used to call me one of the guys! I just thought he was just being a bro!"
Sebastian just smirked and rolled his eyes at me, then went back to cleaning.
A few minutes later, Konan walked out of the manor and towards us.
"Morgan-san." She called and I looked up. "Bardroy-kun and Mey-Rin-san have informed me that my attire is inappropriate, and Ciel-kun has advised me to go shopping with you."
She said the words slowly, as if she were still trying to get used to english.
I smiled and looked at her outfit
Definitely not fit for Victorian era England...
I smiled and stood. "Sure, let me just go get changed, then I'll take you out."
I changed into my uniform and gave Konan my coat to cover herself a little more, but just as we were about to leave the manor my little master Ciel showed up, followed closely behind by Sebastian.
"We will be accompanying you." My master stated, sticking his top hat on his head and grabbing his cane from Sebastian.
"I just received word from Scotland Yard about a sudden string of killings in London."
Konan's eyes widened slightly, but I- having often been taken on missions with Ciel and Sebastian- just nodded and led the way to the carriage that would bring us to London.
"Ciel-kun..." Konan muttered as the carriage drove along the bumpy roads. "Why is it that you're tolerating my presence in your business?"
My master shrugged. "Sebastian informs me that shinobi of your world are rather powerful for humans. You will help back us up if anything goes wrong."
The blue haired woman nodded in acceptance and the rest of the ride was spent in silence.
The moment we exited the carriage, the scent of blood filled my senses, followed by the flashing of old fashion cameras and the hushed tones of police officers.
"What's happened here?" Ciel demand to the detective in charge; an auburn haired man whom I vaguely remembered as being Detective Abberline.
My young master snatched the report out if the surprised detective's hand and read it over as the man stumbled on his words.
"Ah, Ciel! I-I mean, E-Earl Phantomhive! I wasn't expecting you..." The man nodded in greeting to Sebastian, then myself, but looked away from Konan with his face slightly flushed.
"The killings seem almost random, but each seems strangely ritualistic, judging by the symbols painted in blood on the alley walls and floor." Ciel summed up, looking at the body in the alley.
My eyes widened as I looked at the symbol: a circle with a triangle in it.
I turned to Konan to see her just shaking her head and muttering under her breath about how much of an idiot Hidan was.
Ciel handed the report back to Abberline. "My people and I will split up and search for the perpetrators. Morgan. You and Miss Konan will search the east side while Sebastian and I search the west. We will meet back here at four o'clock sharp, understand?"
I nodded just as Sebastian stepped forward.
"Actually, young master, I do believe it would be better if Miss Konan accompanied us in this endeavor."
Ciel raised an eyebrow, then shrugged. "Very well. We'll be seeing you then, Morgan."
As the three turned to leave, Sebastian gave me a pointed look that practically screamed: 'Clean yo shit up, gurl!'
I nodded at him and the three entered the carriage once more and drove off towards the London's west side.
I turned on my heel and began walking in the other direction, when a hand caught my shoulder.
"Miss Donnelly, I understand that you're in servitude of the Queen's Guard Dog, but are you sure that you will be alright on your own?" Abberline questioned, worry in his eyes. "You are still only a young girl, after all. If you need assistance, my men and I will surely-"
I cut him off as I pulled the gun from my pants and made a show of loading it and popping a bullet into the chamber.
I gave the detective a tight-lipped smile and shrugged off his hand.
"Thanks for the offer, but I've got this. Worry about your own shit while I handle mine. Besides, I'm pretty sure the killer won't hurt me."
He furrowed his brows and stepped back. "How do you know?"
I paused for a moment and thought about what Sebastian said- about Hidan having feelings for me- then remembered the time that the Jashinist stabbed right through my torso.
"I don't..." I muttered, turning and walking away from the crime scene.

It took me probably three hours for the heavy scent of blood to once more fill my nose.
I followed the smell into another alley where even more of Hidan's symbols were painted gruesomely along the walls and on the ground.
There were a few bodies scattered about inside of a giant circle on the floor, and in the middle of said circle sat Hidan, his skin quickly fading from black and white to its usual peachy tone. His scythe was laying on the cobblestones before him and both were splattered with blood.
I took a deep breath and steeled myself against the smell before tucking my gun away and walking towards him.
I sighed loudly as I sat down in the circle next to him, but he did nothing. Just held his circle-triangle pendant pressed against his lips and muttered silent prayers with his eyes shut.
I waited until he finished muttering before I gently bumped his shoulder with my own.
"Bros before hoes." I said, staring up at a symbol on the wall in front of us.
Hidan's brows furrowed and he looked at me. "What?"
"Bros. Before. Hoes." I repeated myself slowly.
I could practically feel his gaze burning holes into my face.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
I sighed and looked at him.
"Bros before hoes. I thought we were bros, but you were being a hoe. I can't tolerate hoes. You weren't being a bro, hoe."
Hidan just stared at me as though I were crazy. "You came out all this way just to call me a fucking hoe?"
I thought for a moment, then shrugged. "Yeah, I guess I did."
Hidan groaned and stood, grabbing his scythe as he did so. "You're fucking impossible." He growled, heading towards the alley's entrance.
"Wait." I called over my shoulder, not moving from my spot.
I turned on my tailbone to face the Jashinist. "Why'd ya kill all those people?"
He glared back at me. "I don't have to fucking tell you." He growled and I stood.
"Hidan, London isn't like the ninja world. Humans here may be weak as shit, but they're persistent. I was charged with finding you and taking you down. I know that I don't have the physical capabilty, but eventually you will be captured." I kept my icy eyes on his own majenta ones in a steely glare the entire time I talked. "Just tell me why you killed all those people. I need to know."
Hidan snarled. "I was fucking angry, alright?"
I took a step towards him, raising my hands in a non-threatening manor as I watched his grip on the red scythe tighten.
"Angry at me?"
"Well aren't you a fucking detective now?"
I took another cautious step forward as his knuckles began to whiten around the scythe's handle.
"Why? Because I didn't return your affection? I don't like you like that, Hidan."
He scoffed and swung out his arms absent-mindedly, making me duck before the blades of the scythe could chop off my head. "Well I sure as fuck know that now!"
Hidan gave a dry laugh and turned to look at me.
"You know, I really thought you were cool." He muttered, his arms lowering and his grip on the scythe loosening. "But you're just some bitch, bitch."
He sighed and turned to walk out of the alley. "I wanna fucking go home now. Today sucked balls."
I nodded and ran to walk beside him as I led the Jashinist back to the manor.
I chuckled slightly as we walked and he raised an eyebrow down at me.
"If it makes any difference, I sorta ship you and Kakuzu." I laughed, then beamed up at him innocently.
He had a look of absolute horror on his face and I could see the goosebumps on his skin.
That was my cue to start running.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!!" Hidan roared, and chased me all the way back to the manor while I just laughed my head off.
